Capitol Hill Edition
PUBLISHED FRIDAY—READ IN EVERY PARK HILL HOME
VOLUME IV—NO. 164.
DENVER, COLORADO FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1936
NUMBER 14
The crime and murder trial of the century has- become
the farce of the century and one which the whole world is
sick of unless the criminals who seem to be getting all the
petting and cajoling nowadays. We read in the morning paper
that Mrs. Anna Hauptmann. wife of the convicted slayer of
the Lindbergh baby in spite of her terrible anguish purch-
ed mourning clothes to wear after her husband's death,
which was supposed to take place Tuesday. We venture to
say that Mrs. Lindbergh, the mother of the murdered baby
was not interested in what type of clothes she wore at her
baby's funeral.

A DANGEROUS CROSSING
The thorofare at East Colfax and Marion street is one of
the real danger spots in the city. There are times during the
day when the vehicular traffic on both Colfax and Marion is
so heavy that it is practically impossible for a pedestrian to
cross East Colfax. With the street cars, east and west bound,
the Tramway bus south bound, automobiles, trucks, taxi-
cabs and overland transportation coming and going in all
directions, besides autos going in and out of the filling
stations and pulling into the street from the curb, the poor
pedestrian by the time he gets across the street is actually
dizzy dodging all of this traffic. This should be remedied and
can be remedied before a serious accident happens at this
intersection. The citizens are entitled to this protection, and
if the city is too poor to erect a traffic signal at this point,
then give us a competent traffic officer to direct the traffic
and give the pedestrian a break.
And you motorist; if your not in too big a hurry, why not
stop and let the pedestrian cross the street when you see they
are trying hard to make the curb. It will only be a moment
and moments can save lives.
Hats off to these motorists! Several times it has been
observed that some drivers have stopped their cars to let the
pedestrians pass, and, by so doing, the other cars following
have started to toot their horns. Now, is that nice, after considering the courtesy of the motorist who halted his car to
let the pedestrian pass? Now, we ask you; IS THAT NICE?
Remember, we are all PEDESTRIANS part of the time.

It's about time our legislators, who seem to be spending
a considerable part of their time in figuring new ways to increase the cost of living, did some thinking about the interest of the consumer—of whom there are 125,000,000 in this
country.
A number of bills are now pending in Congress which,

The publisher of the TOPICS has
from time to time been requested by
civic organizations and wide awn.kc
business men, from different parts
of the city, to publish an edition of
the TOPICS for their respective
neighborhoods, knowing that the
TOPICS has always been striving
for the betterment of the community.
We have carefully studied conditions in these different neighborhoods and being reluctant in starting such an ente'rprize, as the cost
of publishing such an 'edition must
be considered and if the business
interests of such a community could
properly support the same.
The Cajpitol Hill district has, after careful consideration, been
chosen as the first step in our extension program.
Hence, you have tbefore you the
first number of CAPITAL HILL
EDITION OF PARK HILL
TOPICS. -
We will endeavor to make the
TOPICS a welcome guest in every
home in your district. We hope that
you will enjoy reading our specially
prepared articles, our editorials
(whether you agree with us or not),
our news as well as new features
'that will make their appearance
from time to time and last but not
least the advertisements from the
.merchants advertising in the
TOPICS, they are the ones that
make this publication possible. The
! TOPICS carries advertisements
only from reliable merchants who
will treat you fair and be glad to
give you an extra concession if you

Epilepsy, or falling-sickness, is
generally considered a brain and
spinal disease. The disease itself
rarely destroys life. In rare cases
where it does, death from exhaustion follows the condition where in
the fits sus^eed each other so rapidly that the patient does not regain
consciousness during the interval.
There are indications or warnings, at times, which indicate the
approach of an attack. These warnings may take the form of a temporary change in disposition such
as depression or elevation of spirits;
perhaps a decided change in expression of the face and sometimes
by a sharp pain in the thumb or
another part of one's body.
During the fit there is little that
can be done. Tight clothing, of
course, should be removed. Dashing
cold water upon the face and chest
may lie useful. When the fit is over
the patient should be allowed to
sleep the head and shoulders being
well raised.
Epilepsy does not seem to have
an injurious effect upon one's
general health, and even in an aggravated form a great degree of
bodily vigor may be maintained by
the patient. It is a very old disease
and in ancient times was looked upon as an evil omen. The Romans
thought it a special infliction of the
Gods, and should a Senate member
be struck with an attack the session would immediately be broken
up. Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius
(\aesar, Peter the Great, Paul the
Apostle, and Mohammed, were
epileptics. They were, nevertheless
some of the world's greatest men,
so many people afflicted with
and insanity, the disease feared by
